- DEVICE FOR PRODUCING PAPER WRAPPING-CORD.

Specification of Letters Patent. Patented M31. 20, 191 7.

Application filed March 16, 1916. Serial No. 84,544.

city of Philadelphia, in the county of Phila State of Pennsylvania, haveindelphia and vented certain new and useful Improvements in Devices forProducing Paper YVrapping-Cord, of which the following is aspecification.

My invention relates to a holder for ribbon or fillet-like tough tissuepaper in a roll and the device provided with a forming nozzle throughwhich the ribbon or fillet of tissue paper is manually drawn to becomeinstantly an infolded, crinkled or crimped wrapping cord.

The'nature, object and scope of my present invention will be more fullyunderstood from the following description taken in connection with theaccompanying drawings forming part hereof, in which- Figure 1, is a Viewpartly insection and partly in elevation, showing the internalconstructive arrangement of the device as embodying the essential mainfeatures of my invention, for producing infolded crinkled or crimpedwrapping cord for various uses.

Fig. 2, is a vertical sectional view on the line m, w, of Fig. 1,showing the detail arrangement of the contracted forming nozzle andthrough which instantly a narrow ribbon or fillet of tough tissue paperis transformed into an infolded crinkled or crimped wrapping cord.

Fig. 3, is a vertical sectional view of a modified form of the device,showing two reels of narrow ribbon or fillet like tissue paper mountedthereon and also the forming nozzle for. crinkling or crimping the tworibbons of tissue paper into the required crinkled or crimped wrappingcord; and

Fig. 4, is a longitudinal sectional view on the line y, y, of Fig. 3.

Referring to the drawings a, is a holder, as illustrated, in the form ofa shield having a slidable cover-plate a In the lower portion of theholder is provided a forming nozzle a the upper end of which is formedinto coils a, with bent guides of, a, forming ways for the infoldingfrom the sides of the tissue paper ribbon or fillet c coming from thesupport or reel of Fig. 1 or 2, so that as it enters the forming nozzle(L in its infolded condition it is therein transformed into a crinkledor crimped condition as a wrapping cord for instant use.

The support or reel, for the paper web and on which it is mounted,consists of a drum orsolid block 6, arranged on a stud or pin fitted tothe rear wall of the holder a, and projecting therefrom, as clearlyshown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3. The paper Web in coiled form is provided withan inner. ring 0 as clearly shown in Fig.2, and which ring is arrangedso as to lightly bear by friction against the. drum or block b, but onlysufliciently to permit of ready unwinding of the paper fillet or ribbon0, therefrom by a drawing action of the fillet or ribbon to and throughthe infolding forming nozzle a .7

In Figs. 3 and 4, the holder for the narrow fillet or ribbon of toughtexture tissue paper, is held on two reels, as shown, and the fillets orribbons lead therefrom to and through the forming nozzle er as in Figs.1 and 2. The guides above the nozzle proper are the same as in Figs. '1and 2, except that two narrow strips or fillets of paper are joined byinfolding to become united to each other by the manual drawing operationof the same through the said forming nozzle a to cause instantly thesame to be formed into the required wrapping cord, for tying candy boxesor other packages. Tinted or colored tissue paper stock it will beapparent may be employed for giving the resultant product and to make inappearance an attractive wrapping cord.

Having thus described the nature and object of my invention, what Iclaim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 2- A holderprovided with a forming nozzle and a support fora paper web mountedthereon, said nozzle formed into coils and having guides arrangedadjacent to the In witness whereof, I have hereunto set mouth thereofforthe infolding of the paper my signature in the presence of two subribbonor fillet from said support, whereby scribing witnesses.
